Randy Peters Catering and Events

Randy Peters has been won for the best cater (KCRA List) in the Sacramento region year after year and there is good reason for that. Our catering manger Kerry was amazing and worked with us and our wedding planner every step of the way. Kerry did everything possible to make the day to flow smoothly. Kerry is a total rockstar! We are from LA and had a Sacramento wedding. They were able to work with us and let us have a food tasting on a weekend. We are so thankful that they were flexible. They also gave us AMAZING cookies after the food tasting. We did not want traditional wedding food - we wanted BBQ. BBQ was not on the menu list that they provided us, but they once again were able to make anything we wanted. Our Wedding Menu: Cocktail Hour 1. Cheese/Meat Station 2. Bruschetta and Tapenade Station *We heard the stations were yummy, but it ran out very quickly and some guests were disappointed. We had very hungry guests :) 3. Stuffed Mushrooms - A MUST have. I could have eaten these all night. 4. Sweet Potato Skewers - Yummy 5. Bacon Wrapped Shrimp - Everyone loved these Dinner: Plated (Randy Peters gave the guests very big portions) 1. BBQ brisket - I hate brisket and Randy Peters made me LOVE it. It was full of flavor and not one piece of fat. Homemade BBQ sauce which is to die for. 2. Tequila Lime Chicken with Mango Salsa - We got mixed reviews on this. Some people liked it while others thought it lacked flavor and the chicken was tough. 3. BBQ Baked Beans - Pure amazing. Best baked beans I have ever tasted. 4. Mac n' cheese - Yummy! 5. Corn Bread - Moist and perfection. 6. Salad with pear, glazed walnuts and gorgonzola cheese - Everyone LOVED the salad. The flavors went so well with each other. 7. Mixed Seasonal Veggies - We got mixed reviews on the seasonal veggies. Some said it lacked flavor, but some thought they were fine. I personally think they were just fine... veggies aren't suppose to have too much flavor of butter, spices, etc especially with all of the other flavors on the plate. Plus veggies are suppose to be healthy :) The great thing is that the food was cooked on-site. Most catering companies make the food ahead of time and then re-heat it at the venue. The servers were amazing! We (the bride and groom) even had a dedicated server who brought us out apps and drinks as we took photos. The service was top notch and went above and beyond. I was worried about people eating at different times, but everyone seemed to get served at the same time. Randy Peters is HIGHLY recommended and if I ever host another event in Sacramento I will hire them again!

Randy peters catering is fantastic. We were blown away by them from the tasting. My younger brother was very involved with picking out caterer because he is a little bit of a picky eater. At the tasting, Chef Kenny, really wanted to please my brother. He offered to make him a cheeseburger if he didn't like the wedding food, but my brother loved the wedding food. He had a second helping of everything. We had the appetizers served by the staff passing them out, and our dinner was served family style. I highly recommend having dinner served family style even though it is the most expensive option. You get all the options of a buffet with the sophistication of a plated dinner. No waiting in a buffet line, and not getting stuck with one entree option that is more than likely cold by the time it reaches the table. With family style, everything was brought out hot with plenty of food for the tables. They also provided our dessert bar. I had some of the cookies at the tasting but never had the chance to try the rest of the desserts at the wedding. Our guests said they were fantastic; they were all gone. The staff was fantastic. During the cocktail hour, while everyone was eating we were taking pictures, the coordinator, Kerry, brought us appetizers and wine so we didn't get hungry. This is was unexpected and so sweet! During the dinner, a few of the waiting staff came over to congratulate us and offer to get us drinks or anything we needed so we didn't need to go the bar. The whole night, I never had to go to the bar for a drink. After the reception during clean up, even the bartender came over to congratulate us. This is all just fantastic service! I really cannot stress enough how great they were!
